Since my handwriting is a dog’s breakfast…
“Today’s fun
Going out for a bit so keeping it light. Just my much adored Fuyu-Gaki (you’ve seen that EF nib) and “mooring on the quinuai river,” from a Chinese company whose name I can’t recall, in a preppy 05M. Don’t know if the shimmer will photograph well.”
Still up for sample trades, can never have too many inks!
Had to go find a review of it, but that's a beautiful black. The only black I keep around tends to be Diamine Earl Grey, mostly for that oh-so-rare document where someone positively insists that it must be completed in blue or black. I've enough blues that I'd end up using Tropical Glow or something equally silly that's "technically" blue (but sparkly!!!!!), so gotta have that classic black-ish inked up at any moment.
Safari demonstrator with Chineses stub nib sounds really interesting - would love to see pics/writing!
Hadn't made the connection, but that purple is very reminiscent of the (impossible) perfect mimeograph. Can't even recall how I ended up with it, I don't generally buy Chinese anything on general principles when I can help it. I'm a fan of shimmer, and most of my writing is personal so I don't have to think "Is this purple shimmer a little too twelve year old girl instead of professional?" :-D
